St. Josephs vs. Temple Tuesday, December 6, 2022 at 7:00pm EST
Matt Fargo Sports Pick - This is a play on the ST. JOSEPH'S HAWKS for Tuesday . Temple has won three straight games, covering all three as well as each of those victories came by double-digits and now the Owls are seeing their first inflated number of the season following their best stretch of play. They opened the season 2-4 with three of those losses coming as favorite which includes an overtime loss to Wagner by 16 points and are now being asked to lay double-digits for just the second time this season. Overall, Temple is just 3-2 at home and being a below average team on both sides of the floor, this is too many points to be laying.
The Hawks are coming off a 97-80 home loss to Fairleigh Dickinson on Saturday as 12-point favorites and that was a bad non-quality loss as the first three defeats came against Houston, Georgia and South Florida. St. Joseph's is 1-0 on the road which was a victory over Penn in the game prior to the loss against the Knights and it looks to get back on track in a game the Hawks may have been guilty looking ahead to. This is a big rivalry for both sides with the Philadelphia Big 5 Title in play every season between the city schools and St. Joseph's and Temple remain the only unbeaten teams in the Big 5 this year.

St. Joseph's is 18-6 ATS in its last 24 road games off a home loss by 10 points or more. Here, we play on road underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points off an upset loss by 15 points or more as a home favorite. This situation is 119-62 ATS (65.7 percent) since 1997. Play St. Joseph's Hawks +11 .
Duke Blue Devils vs Iowa Hawkeyes 9:30 PM EST
Oskeim Sports Pick - My math model only favors Duke by 0.72 points in this neutral site affair (Madison Square Garden, NY) and the Hawkeyes are 11-4 ATS in their last fifteen games and 9-4 ATS in their last thirteen games versus .501 or greater opposition. Iowa’s success begins with junior forward Kris Murray, who has taken a big step forward this season after withdrawing from the NBA draft just hours from the deadline. Murray’s brother, Keegan, was the No. 4 pick in the NBA draft after averaging 23.5 points and 8.7 rebounds for the Hawkeyes in 2021-22.
Through seven games, Kris Murray is averaging 21.0 points and 10.6 rebounds, shooting 40.5% from 3-point range. In last week’s 81-65 win over Georgia Tech, Murray posted one of the best individual stat lines of the 2022-23 campaign: 31 points, 20 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks. Murray is joined in the frontcourt by two returning starters, Patrick McCaffery, who is second in scoring (12.9 ppg), and Filip Rebraca, who is averaging 10.3 points and 8.0 rebounds per game.
Iowa possesses a potent attack that is ranked 8th in the nation in scoring offense (86.4) and 18th in scoring margin (18). With Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery standing at 49-23 ATS in December affairs during his 13-year tenure in Iowa City, grab the points with the Hawkeyes.
